KIMBO SLICE

Kimbo Slice, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, became famous for beating the crap out of others in backyard fight videos that were posted on Youtube. Indeed, the man seemed to have electricity in his fists. He became an internet sensation, with each of his fight videos garnering millions of views. He made it clear that fighting was more than a hobby for him. It was more of a way of living that could give him leisure and investment money at the same time.

He eventually realized that fighting was his thing, so he tried doing it professionally for the UFC and became moderately successful at it. People who knew Kimbo have attested that despite his fearsome exterior, he was both gentle and extremely devoted to his family. On June 6, 2016, Kimbo was unfortunately rushed to the hospital after experiencing acute abdominal pain. He died of heart failure shortly thereafter. Even after his death, he was still under contract with Bellator MMA.
